Flash Gordon - A Tribute to Al Williamson

Sadly another of comic's legend has passed away earlier this week. As many others influenced by Mr. Williamson's accomplishments, I was deeply moved to do a tribute piece. Here's my attempt at drawing Flash Gordon mimicking Al Williamson's style as best I could muster. I know it pales to his work in too many ways to mention, I finished the whole piece from pencil to ink in record time for me - 8 hrs!

Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis' Army of Mummies

First of all, if you haven't checked out Athena Voltaire, you're missing out on one of the most pulpy comic book goodness of our time. Created by my friend and collaborator, Steve Bryant, the books unveil the story of an adventure-bound aviatrix who encounters all sorts of mysteries in the veins of Indiana Jones.

When Athena was named the theme for ComicTwart contributors, an art blog made up of several fantastic industry artists, I jumped at the chance to do my own play-along version. What you may notice on my inked version of "Athena Voltaire vs. Anubis' Army of Mummies" is that Anubis' body is solid black unlike the pencils. During the inking stage, I noticed that the details of his body contour was distracting and the solid black helped frame Athena better as the focus center.

Human Fly? What in the World?!

So, those crazy greeks on Comic Geek Speak throw out not just a 70's Marvel Fanpic Challenge, but Jamie D ups the ante with a suggestion for Human Fly.

Human Fly? Human FLY? I don't need to stinkin' Human Fly!

So needless to say, I went ahead and painted one up. :-)

Second Chance Illustrated for Comic Geek Speak.

So, the episodes of Comic Geek Speak of "creating a new character" inspired me to do some sketches. As far as the forum is concerned, I'm contributing after a whole generation of forum had past, etc. So far, good feedback is given and the part that pleases me the most is that many are agreeing that I am "staying in theme" with the character descriptions.

I've been having fun doing the sketches, but I'm afraid the fun sketches will have to slow down so I can devote more time to the Issue Zero of the project.
